Pleasant Valley Conservancy State Natural Area

Pleasant Valley Conservancy contains 143 acres of oak woodland, oak savanna, dry and wet prairies, sedge meadow, shrub-carr, and open marsh environments.

The conservation area was designated as a Wisconsin State Natural Area in 2007 after extensive restoration work to return the land to its original condition.

The Prairie Enthusiasts and local conservation groups maintain educational programs about native plant species and natural habitat preservation throughout the year.

Visitors can access hiking trails that wind through different ecosystems, but should note that dogs are not permitted within the conservation boundaries.

The site features Pleasant Valley Creek, a spring-fed waterway that flows through wetlands before joining East Blue Mounds Creek, supporting local water systems.
